Viability of Lacto blends.

[Rcbandl]

Is the viability of Lacto strains similar to yeast?

I am getting ready to get into kettle sours and I would like to keep a pitch of lacto on hand so I figured I would make a couple liter starter, use half and store the other half until the next batch then double it up and pitch half again.

Is this something that would work?

Interesting question. I would expect it to keep very well. You get yogurts with live cultures, and probiotics have a decent shelf life.
